I've kept hearing that the furnaces and crafting tables have been bugged but it's not a universal issue because I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches at all, and I played the pre-release quite extensively this weekend.

The big issue I noticed in 1.8 in SMP servers was an invisible leaves bug where if a tree spawned within your chunk you could see no leaves until you forced a lighting update. Thankfully this seems to have been fixed with craftbukkit.

In other news another member from rcfreak0's server introduced me to this awesome water shader mod, I am rather impressed with the results though IMO it could use a few tweaks its still rather impressive.

Considering the beast of a graphics card that I have, I think I don't mind AA set high. I will definitely give that a try. And I like the house a lot! I'm planning on posting a whole swatch of Evocatus 4.0 screenies soon, especially Arcadia screenshots.

I'll post screenshots of some of the inside structures, like our giant redstone-powered intruder detector map based on the walls, the huge gate, the underground tunnel system, the vault with its combination lock, the piston elevators, etc.

Looking at that again, I like the slightly less-formal air that the rounded tops on the M give. I personally would have made it with squared-off tops, because that's how I'm used to making the M, but your method is quite interesting. _player, not even for the Building With Blocks subforum?

Heh, I just thought that the rounded corners looked better, so I went with that.

And you don't even have smooth lighting and fancy graphics with the 4x AA my desktop's graphics card can handle turned on! I see that you managed to skip a whole version without the rest of us, though; care to share?
